Defrag some files cano't be

Defragmenting drive C not completed. I get a message that says: some files may not be defragment?

Some files?  What is 'some files?

That could be, but if you want to know what's happening, you must provide additional information.

Some Windows files that are 'used' cannot be defragmented after that XP starts (as the hiberfil.sys pagefile.sys, file registry, etc), so you must defragment these files before XP ends to load up.

Get PageDefrag and other tools, videos, and comments by Mark Russinovich, the master of Windows troubleshooting here:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb545021

Page Defrag will add an entry to the registry to run Defragmenter page during the next reboot.  The registry entry is automatically deleted after the system restarts.

These files and other system will be defragmented at the next reboot.

Please provide additional information on your system:

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

The defragmentation report lists files that cannot be defragmented - is that what you are talking about and what are the names of the files?

You can save the report to your desktop as a text file and then copy / paste the contents here.

If you run low the Windows Defragmenter disk space may have difficulty defragmenting your hard drive.  XP needs of 15% of the total capacity of the hard drive to run properly (you will get an information message if you do not have enough space).

The XP Defragmenter cannot defragment the files that are in use (such as the registry, newspapers, events, pagefile.sys files, etc.), so they can appear as fragmented in the defragmentation report files.  These files need to be defragmented before XP load completely and starts to use these files.

On a healthy system, it is certainly possible to have zero files fragmented (according the XP report) using PageDefrag.  This does not always mean that you will suddenly see more free space on your HARD drive, so don't let your expectations go beyond the reality when you get to zero the defragmented files and have still not run out of space.

You can read and download PageDefrag download here:

There are many free third-party defragmenters that you can download from the Internet.    People like other tools better than casting in the XP Defragmenter, even if you can see in the report that precedes, the XP Defragmenter is certainly capable of a result of zero of fragmented files.

Some examples of third-party tools that you can analyze:

Some people like the piriformis products and their application of Defraggler suite, you can get here:

    Defrag in safe mode may allow additional files defragmentation, but however does not allow for defragmentation of files that are in use. To be honest, I don't understand why you ask on the Defrag in safe mode when I have already informed the right way to defrag for best results.

  • Problems of Defrag - defragment suddenly stops indicating that some files on this volume cannot be defragmented

    When I try to defragment my computer, it suddenly stops indicating that some files on this volume cannot be defragmented. A way to solve this problem? I made the center of Fix-It without solving the problem. Anyone with a fix?

  • iCloud backup after iOS 10 - some files were not available during the last backup

    HI - we are a company with about 350 users of iPhone and iPad.  I put this in the iCloud in the community section, but I've seen other users have the same problem in this section, so I thought I would add here.

    In order to stop users add their own e-mail accounts on the iPhone that lock us the device through restrictions - deactivation of the accounts section.  It stops and then access the iTunes settings.  In the test of iOS 10.0.1, we have one of the devices (a 16 GB 5 s, who had been a backup at 7:20 that morning), improved 9.3.2 that went well with no obvious problems, then, after a few days to leave the handset to the function, we have lifted the restriction and the backup on iCloud to find any backup not occurred since the upgrade and a message 'some files were not available during the last. backup"in its place.

    If all our staff upgrade their phones (we gave says not yet) then the backups look like they stop.  It is easy to fix, as a manual backup, will complete the process, but you have to remove the restriction to do this.

    We tested on iPhone 5, 5 s, air iPad iOS 8 to 9.3.5 and all have this problem.

    I have exactly the same problem, 16 GB iPhone 5s as well. I plan on raising at my Genius Bar appointment today.

  • Moving iTunes, but leaving some files.

    I am moving from one laptop to another and have to move my instance of iTunes.

    I have a lot of older podcasts, I saved, and I want to keep them. Unfortunately I don't have much disk space on the new machine that I had on the old, so I'll have to cut them on the new machine.

    What is the best way to solve this problem?

    I do more iTunes files, and then delete the individual podcasts that I don't want to keep it on the new machine?

    Is it possible to load iTunes, registration and it has NOT automatically download the historical files of the iTunes server?

    See how to backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library. You can keep a complete copy of the library on the external hard drive, but remove some content (and exclude from synchronization) some files to reduce the size of the online library. Alternatively, you can run the entire library from the outside and use another for backup.

  • Satellite A100: some files are missing when copying DVD on the desktop

    Hello

    Suppose I have 1000 files on a DVD.
    I drag all these files in the desktop, all of a sudden I see this is 920 files.
    If some files are missing.

    What this may be?
    There are no errors. I don't think that something is wrong.
    I initially thought maybe hidden files are counted in the DVD, but not on the desktop?
    Maybe something on the desktop?

    Anyone have any ideas? I tried to put it on 'To see the hidden files' - it's a Toshiba A100.

    I just ran a scan antivirus on this file and it let's say 1500 files analyzed.
    Haha. Antivirus but probably scanned all etc. desktop.ini and Thumbs.db.
    .. And maybe Windows Vista now have those when you want to display the number of files?

    Is BTW, there a convenient way to analyse my Mac Pro for a few bad things, such as virus or some files as the file mentioned earlier cover? These files are located by "doctor of BREW $".

    OS X does NOT ALL files in the tree/usr/local.  Nothing.  Nada.  Zilch!

    Homebrew however stores ALL its files in the tree/usr/local.

    So, if you have files with a date of 2013, they were probably from Homebrew.  And as you know, the Homebrew doesn't part of Mac OS X.

    I do not use the Homebrew, but if I had to guess, he downloaded a precompiled package with built in 2013 and place these files in the tree/usr/local.

    Is BTW, there a convenient way to analyse my Mac Pro for a few bad things, such as virus or some files as the file mentioned earlier cover? These files are located by "doctor of BREW $".

    In general, it's a bad idea to install a-squared 3rd party packages.  They have caused more problems then they never solved, based on the many reports of panic the kernel, System slowness and reports missing disappeared in these forums.  Contributors to the forum a long time does not.

    OS X includes its own protections.  Please, start by reading the following:

    In regards to the doctor of the infusion, it was good that he found the stuff that he put them there, don't you think

    I have nothing against the homebrew, but if you are going to use it to install the packages open-source, you should have an understanding of what it does and where it stores its files.

    Also note: most open source packages you download and compile it yourself, will also install in the tree/usr/local.

    MacPorts.com (another package manager) stores its stuff in/opt/local /...

    Fink (www. ) FinkProject.org) one of the first managers package for Mac OS X, it stores the stuff in the tree/sw /...

    Still, I'm guessing the files that concern you came a homebrew package that has been installed, or maybe when you installed homebrew himself.

  • I can't delete a folder. In addition, in some cases, I can't delete some files.

    Using Windows Explorer (Windows XP) I can't delete a folder. (The data are not a program).

    File attributes are set to "hidden files" and the folder is empty (0-byte and no files are in the folder).

    In addition, the folder properties (and file) / attributes are 'read only '. When I uncheck "read only" and click OK, then look again at this, the box comes back to "read only with a check mark. (???)

    When I try to delete the folder, the message says "no empty folder", and it won't delete.

    Also, when I try to delete some files (in other cases) some people will not remove.

    Help, please.

    The 'read only' box on issues is not what he says. ignore it.

    A folder will not delete if it contains a locked file.  You will need to unlock and remove the file first.

    "Some files" will not delete because they are locked - that is to say, they are in use by an application.  There is a utility called "unlocker" used to be recommended to correct this situation, but the download now includes adware that may be reported by your antivirus/antimalware dangerous application.

    An 'empty' file that will not delete can be fixed if you run chkdisk.  Click Start > run and type the following command, and then click OK

    chkdisk/f

    A window will open to inform you that chkdisk /f cannot be run while Windows is active and proposed to schedule a chkdisk for the next reboot.  Answer Yes and restart.  When chkdisk is complete, delete the folder.

    The files that appear to be in use can be deleted by one or more of the following techniques:

    A. deleting a command prompt window.  You need to know the name of full of the file path.  For example, if you try to delete a file named test.txt that is located in a folder named Non empty folder on your desktop and your user name is NR16020, the full path name is C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non empty Folder\\test.txt

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Use the del for the files command and the command rd for folders.  If the full path name includes spaces, include it with double spaces.  Using the example:
      del "C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder\\test.txt empty"
      'C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder Empty' RD

    B. remove in safe mode.  To access Safe Mode, restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 immediately after that the power on sequence is complete.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and need to try again.

    C. remove from a command prompt with closed Windows Explorer.  If the procedure fails because the file is locked, follow these steps:

    • Close all running applications
    • Open the Task Manager
    • Open a command prompt window
    • In the Task Manager process tab, right-click on explorer.exe, and then select end process
    • Open the command prompt window and follow the steps listed in point A above
    • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK
